Deprivation of parental authority is the measure of the deepest interference with the relationship between the parents and the child. As a consequence of using it, parents lose all attributes of that authority. Legal prerequisites of deprivation of parental authority are divided into obligatory and facultative. The analysis of legal regulations shows that the spoken legal measure was conceived as a tool for helping children.}, title={Pozbawienie władzy rodzicielskiej — kara dla rodziców czy narzędzie niesienia pomocy dzieciom?}, keywords={deprivation of parental authority, parents, children, prerequisite, Family and Guardianship Code, child’s welfare}, }
